Founded by Susan Benjamin in 1950, Halcyon Days was initially a small antiques shop based on Avery Row in London which specialized in dealing with English antiques, in particular small enamel boxes.
The English craft of enameling onto copper had flourished during the 18th century, but by the 1830s it had almost disappeared; consequently the pieces which Halcyon Days specialized in were extremely rare.
In 1970 Susan Benjamin established a collaboration with enamel manufacturer Bilston and Battersea Enamels to continue the fine tradition of English enamels.
Tradition is at the heart of everything that Halcyon Days does.
As the guardian of enameling, their team of highly skilled craftsmen and master artists employ refined techniques that have been handed down for generations.
In recognition of excellence for service and quality, Halcyon Days has been granted the maximum number of Royal Warrants a business may display - four.
Only eight English companies in the world have achieved this honor.
